Reading is Hard...

So I'm at work right now. Wait, should I be writing that? What if (godforbid) someone reads this? HAHAHA.

I have 45 minutes left. Today is my long day. I'll make it through. I don't know how. Quite possibly by just leaving early without telling anyone. I'm pretty sure everyone has left by now anyways. It really is my fault though (kind of); I DO get here at 10am. I should probably make an effort to get here earlier.

HAHAHA.

No, seriously though. I really should.

HAHAHA. Yeah. RIGHT. Then I'd have to wake up at 630am. Yeah. Right.

At least typing all of this makes me feel like I'm doing something. I'm just researching right now, which is interesting but tedious. I was reading about eco-friendly logging, which was kind of an interesting topic. Conservation groups purchase land and manage it for logging. The money they make goes towards purchasing more land for protection. Then they transition the land that they log towards becoming non-logging areas. My brain hurts. I think that's what it all really comes down to. I've just been reading so much environmental protection, conservation, and economics material over the last two days... I'm a little over-loaded.

I'm interested to see how this job plays out during the school year. I can manage it... maybe. I'm going to try to convince them that I should work 5 of my hours from home... that way I only have to commute to downtown twice a week, which isn't really all that bad. The trick is to work really hard now, during the summer (like what I am doing at this very moment) and make them see me as a valuable resource that they have to try to accommodate. Because really, I've learned the hard way how important it is to place academics ahead of all other activities. This job is good, I feel like it's a right choice in the long run, but I can't have it affect how well I do in school. Anyways, they've trained me too much, I'm too intelligent, and most importantly -- other people are simply idiots most of the time, so they have to hold on to me.

Hopefully.

That's if everything goes according to plan -- which it shall. I don't plan things only to have them not go according to... plan.

Oh God, and I have 100 pages to Environmental reading to do tonight. I'm not used to reading things, it's really odd. Most of my classes have been so "problem" and "memorization" oriented... I'm just not used to the concept of reading in order to gain a broad understanding of a large concept. It's rather nice. It feels like I'm a North Campus Major. Oh those Liberal Arts Majors. What are you ever going to do? Probably have a very happy undergraduate experience. Oh, how I envy you.

Well, I should maybe go do something for the next 15 minutes... And then I'll leave 15 minutes early. I think that's reasonable. Hmmm... let's go recycle things; that sounds lovely. I'll walk really slowly to the recycling bins. Yes... excellent.
